User folders set up?

Hi All
I have been looking at including, in a users area in the portal, an area where users can store documents (e.g. My Documents Folder) and also view documents relating to their department or company.
However I want to role this out to all users and am not sure how the folders will be displayed. If they were to be displayed by role then a Document Administrator would have access to his personal documents, Global Company Documents and department documents.
Another this as this will be for ALL portal users it needs to be a automated as possible.
Could anyone help me or give me some ideas how this works?  
Thanks in advance and Merry Christmas!

Hi Phil,
There is a couple of ways you can do this.
What you can do is:
Create a role for all user e.g
every_user_role
Create a nother role for the admin user e.g
admin_role
Create a workset
Create a page
Create a navigation iveiw
Add the iveiw to the page
Add the page to the workset
Add the workset as delta link to both every_user_role and admin_role
Open up the every_user_role > workset > page > navigation iView
Select properies and type in the navigation path to the folder you want to make availible to every one.
Save you changes
Open up the admin_role > workset > page > navigation iView.
Select properies and type in the navigation path to the folder you only want to make availible to administrators. Select the layouset you will apply for every user. Save you changes
In the CM you can also set permissions on the folders so you can be sure that only administrators can edit documents.
Hope this will help you
Good luck
Regards
Rasmus

  • I have a lion server set up to host storage for time machine backups. Is there a limit to how many different computers can back up to the single server to back up. I am only backing up the users folders . The backup drive is an external Drobo with 6 TB.

    I have a lion server set up to host storage for time machine backups. Is there a limit to how many different computers can back up to the single server to back up. I am only backing up the users folders . The backup drive is an external Drobo with 6 TB. Right now it seems to back up my users all day long. I set their time machine interval to every 5 hours but it still runs all day long and is very slow. Server is on a new Mac Server mini.

    AFAIK, there is no user limit.. it is simply a question of the network load. AFP is a fairly clean protocol.. but TM is not.. it does a lot of testing of the backup.. infact your setting of 5hour gap could well make it worse.
    I would sort out the clients that are doing 100GB backups to a different backup location.. no matter how fast your network.. 100GB takes time to backup.. and over wireless forever.. it will never end.
    I guess some of these clients are on wireless?? I would separate the TM of wireless to those that are wired. No more than 4 or 5 wireless clients to a target device. Otherwise you are saturating your network with backup data. And use 5ghz.. so close by.. it is much faster than 2.4ghz and you will get much better transfer rates.

  • What is factory default "Sharing & Permissions" setting for User folders?

    System:
    Mac OS X Lion 10.7.2
    MacBook Air (Mid 2011)
    Single User – Administrative Account
    Question:
    What is factory default “Sharing & Permissions” setting for User folders (Desktop, Downloads, Library, Movies, Music, Pictures, Public), subfolders, and documents and other contents?
    I’m thinking the factory default “Sharing & Permissions” for all of the above (except Drop Box in the Public folder) is as follows, but not certain.
    Name                          Privilege
    myusername (Me)    Read & Write
    staff                            Read only
    everyone                   Read only

    Are these also the settings on your Documents folder and the various files in the Documents folder?  Same question for your Library folder?
    Name                          Privilege
    myusername (Me)    Read & Write
    everyone                   No Access

  • Move Users folders from external drive to a new internal drive

    Hi All,
    I have a white Intel iMac running Snow Leopard. I have kept the Users folder (4 users) on an external hard disk (too many photos and movies). The internal hard disk recently died, but since all user data was on the external, I wasn't too worried.
    The iMac now has a new hard disk, and I've installed the system back, starting from the original System Install DVD so that all the iApps are also reinstalled.
    What I want to do now is to move the user folders to the internal drive, and use the external for backups. It seems that I can't use Migration Assistant because it only works when moving data from another Mac or another startup drive. I've looked around the forums and on the web, and the only thing I found was a post on TUAW in which the writer talked about eventually having to do this but without giving much info about how to do it (http://www.tuaw.com/2009/05/14/tuaw-tip-moving-your-home-folder-to-another-disk- or-moving-it).
    Does anyone have any experience moving the user folders from an external drive to an internal drive, (or even just having a Mac recognize user folders on an external drive from another machine)?

    Thanks, but that site doesn't have a clear answer.
    Correct. As it clearly states, there are too many variables to have detailed solutions for every possible situation.
    In the 'pink' box, which best matches my situation, the instructions begin with: "•You must be logged on to the account being moved...".
    That's not clear at all. How do I log in to an account that doesn't exist yet? Connecting a hard disk that has a home folder to a new Mac doesn't allow me to 'log on' to that home folder's account, because it doesn't yet exist on the new Mac.
    You may have to set up user accounts "from scratch." Then change the ownership and permissions on the old home folders so you can copy the contents of the sub-folders from the old home folders to the new ones.
    If you're comfortable with permissions and Terminal, this may help: http://reviews.cnet.com/8301-13727_7-20013630-263.html

  • MacOSX AIR Permissions for non-administrator user folders

    We're making final changes to our installer for PowerPC Macs, which cannot get the fixes in Adobe AIR 2.7.
    What are the ownership AND permissions expected to be for normal Adobe AIR operation in the following user folders?
    ~/Library/Application Support/Adobe/AIR
    ~/Library/Preferences/Macromedia/Flash Player/www.macromedia.com/
    /Users/Shared/Library/Application Support/Adobe
    We would like to know if it is advisable to apply the permissions fixes to user folders other than those under the administrator user. Neither the AIR Install Repair.zip posted on the forums nor the MacOSX Adobe AIR 2.7 Installer logs show that any user folders other than those under the administrator user are modified.
    Thanks for your advice.

    Hi,
    I don't believe you'll need to make adjustments to these folders.  Here's what mine are set to:
    /Users/chris/Library/Application Support/Adobe/AIR
    755 / owner:chris group:chris
    /Users/chris/Library/Preferences/Macromedia/Flash Player/www.macromedia.com
    755 / owner:chris group:chris
    /Users/Shared/Library/Application Support/Adobe
    755 / owner:chris group:wheel
    Fwiw, the reason we had to fix up permissions was due to beta versions of past Creative Suite installers (the shipping installers were corrected.)  As far as I know, the only folders effected were the ones we corrected in the installer and I addressed in the script.
    Thanks,
    Chris

  • Mod_rewrite not working in user folders?

    Hi everybody,
    I experience a odd problem and maybe somebody can help. I use a 10.5.8 OS X Server running Apache with PHP 5.3.0.3 entropy update and all works fine.
    Today I tried to create .htaccess file to redirect some http requests, also known as url rewriting using mod_rewrite.so. I tried to create a file in /Library/WebServer/Documents with this content:
    RewriteEngine on
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
    RewriteRule ^(.+) index.php?site=$1 [L]
    and a index.php file with this content:
    <pre>
    <?
    print_r($_REQUEST);
    ?>
    </pre>
    This prints, whatever was given as parameter to my page… as expected.
    Little later i wanted to use the very same files in my User Folder, which is based in /Volumes/Users/Userdata/username/Sites/ and it does not work, the url rewriting does not work and I always get 404 message. Looks like the Rewrite Rules never get loaded…
    Is there any way to enable url rewriting for Users? Where is the config file that forces an "AllowOverride None" for my users? Any ideas?
    I had a similar problem with php earlier on, which was parsed php files in the main document directory but not within user folders… odd enough, the default configuration(no php.ini loaded) does not cause this kind of problem, but if i load a php.ini eg. php.ini-recommended no filles will be parsed in my users sites directory.
    this is not unique to my user account and affects all users on the server
    any ideas?

    This just sounds like a classic Apache configuration question.
    By default (at least in Apple's default configuration - I have no idea what Entropy do to the configs), .htaccess files are disabled (for both security and performance reasons).
    In this case, since the .htaccess rewrites work in your root directory it sounds like someone has enabled .htaccess there but haven't done for the user's home directories.
    In order for rewrites to work in a .htaccess file the directory needs the FileInfo override set. This is typically done in a <Directory> declaration in your config file, like:
    <Directory "/Volumes/Users/Userdata/username/Sites">
      AllowOverride FileInfo
    </Directory>
    This tells Apache to permit FileInfo-based commands in a .htaccess file in the specified directory.
    Just make sure you trust your users, though - putting too much power in the hands of your users could compromise your server security.

  • A simple question: Using the user-folders differently

    Hello,
    I'm still getting started with my mac, that's why I have a pretty basic question:
    There are these user-folders on every mac: Documents, Music, Pictures etc.
    But since I sort my photos and videos by date, I often have pictures and videos in one single folder and don't want to seperate them in these user-folders pictures and movies.
    That's why I'd like to create a new folder next to Documents, Music... called "Photo_Video" (or something like that) where I can put all my photos and videos in.
    So, my first (stupid) question: Is it ok to create a new folder in /Users/NAME/_____ ? I'm asking this because the existing folders seem to be kind of special (system folders?). Sorry about this, but I want to get everything right.
    My second question: Is there a downside of NOT using "Movies" and "Pictures" for my media? I've heard somewhere that these folders are in some way protected against external usage.
    Thank you!
    -Lemon17.

    Yes, you can create folders inside your Home. The folders there are not terribly special, but the Finder does treat them as such by putting that badge on the folders.
    If you have multiple users and want to keep the folders private, you'll need to change the user permissions on the folders you create. When you create a new folder, it inherits the permissions of the enclosing folder. Your Home is set to allow other users to see directly inside so that they can see your Public folder and so the Web server can see into the Sites folder.  Because of that, the new folder you create will allow others to see inside of it.
    To change the permissions, select the new Folder and Get Info on it. The info window will open and the permissions are at the bottom. The list of permissions will have you as the owner and you will have read/write access. It will also have a group (I think Staff), and Everyone. Select any Groups (icon with two silhouettes) and delete them (- button). For Everyone, set it to No Access. If you are the only user and you don't share out folders over the network, then it isn't likely necessary to change the permissions.
    I can't think of a downside of using other folders. The potential downside of not using iPhoto is you won't have the media browser to select photos from. But, that's not a really big deal if you can easily identify your photos in the file structure.

  • Can't access old user folders after archive and install

    I had a disc failure on my old iBook G4 (no wonder) and after repairing the disc and archiving and reinstalling Tiger 10.4.11, I can't open any of my old user folders. Mostly I need the iTunes library in one user folder. How do I get at it? Will setting it up as a target disc give me access to that music?

    These are the likely files that hold Network settings...
    /Users/YourUserName/Library/Preferences/ByHost/com.apple.networkConnect.<12 digit number>.plist
    /Users/YourUserName/Library/Preferences/com.apple.internetconnect.plist

  • How to Setup User Folders Automatically when the user is being created

     Hi All
    I am setting up a new Windows Server 2012 R2 Standard Edition with Full/GUI install.
    Q.1. Is there a way to create User Folders on Data Drive (D: Drive - OS is installed on C) automatically as I create Users?
    Q.2. Additionally can these folders be assigned appropriate permissions automatically?
    Q.3.What is the best approach If appropirate permissions are not assigned automatically. I have drive D: as a share with Full permissions to all. Is there a better way.
    Thanks
    Respectfully

    Hi,
    Not sure you mean local computers or domain environment. In domain, we can create folder redirection GPO.
    With this policy we can redirect folder to a shared folder or another local drive.

  • OIM 9.1 User data set

    Hi,
    In release note of 9.1 it is mentioned that :
    Display of all OIM User attributes on the Step 3: Modify Connector Configuration page
    On the Step 3: Modify Connector Configuration page, the OIM - User data set now shows all the OIM User attributes. In the earlier release, the display of fields was restricted to the ones that were most commonly used.
    and
    Attributes of the ID field are editable
    On the Step 3: Modify Connector Configuration page, you can modify some of the attributes of the ID field. The ID field stores the value that uniquely identifies a user in Oracle Identity Manager and in the target system.
    Can anyone please guide me how to get both things as I am getting only few fields of user profile in OIM-USer data set and also not able to modify ID field.
    I am using OIM 9.1 on Websphere application server 6.1
    Thanks

    Unfortunately i do not have experience using the SPML generic connector. Have you read through all the documentation pertaining to the GTC?

  • Multiple hard drives, user folders and SSD's

    I thouhght I would ask for advice here before I even start.
    OK first a bit of background.
    OSA X 10.6.8
    When I bought my Mac, I fitted extra 1TB hard drives,  setup like this:
    Drive 1 Mac OS  500gb
    Drive 2 User home folders..moved from MachintoshHD/users 1TB
    Drive 3 Data Folders, used for import of video, music and data before inport to Aperture/iPhoto/ Final Cut etc  1TB
    Drive 4 Time machine backign up Drive 1 and 2 1TB
    All drives as stndandard from Apple Caviar Black
    Drive 3 is backed up via ChronoSync to a remote NAS box.
    In the need for speed I removed the 500gb drive No. 1 and fitted a 120Gb SSD drive...and although it is quicker, it is not as good as expected, no doubt in part to the fact that the User Home folders are on a standard drive
    I can't jsut move the user Home folders back to the SSD, due to space of the Aperture, iPhoto and iTunes  Librarys in the User Home folders. 
    Iphoto 110Gb and Itunes 440Gb
    So I was thinking Use my Drive 2..that is currently the 'Home Folder drive" as a shared data store for the iPhoto Itunes and other librays.
    But need help to do this and advice on how to go about it
    I will leave this post here for now as I have just had an energency work callout.  But any suggestions or advice before I start will be very much appreciated.
    I do not want to risk the iPhoto database/faces etc with a move form one drive to another and have it all go sour
    Thanks
    Neil

    "Leave just the /Users/my_account/Library on the SSD" Yes...that is what I want to achieve...at the moement it is not on the SSD it is on the seperate Users HDD ( No. 2) I want the User folders back on the SSD No luckily did not buy from Apple..just bought the same type as fitted...Think I bought them from Dabs.  but itwas 2009, so can't remeber now "Use preference to tell iPhoto etc to use another hard drive, same for iTunes media " So can i just copy the iPhoto and iTunes bundles across from one drive to another ? or are permisions etc going to get screwed, depending on the permissions of the drive I copy too? I do not liek to stripe drives , create arrays ..OK HDD space is relatively cheap now so the loss of space caused by using a RAID array ios not a major issue, but OI like to keep individual drives as individual drives...so no re build is needed if there is a crash.  I rather keep three indepant drives ..all with same data on them and rotate the drives on a weekly /monthly basis.. I have two FreeNAS boxes with identicla drives in them and use them as indepandatnbackups...Backup is not the iissue here, it is the moving of iPhoto librarys etc and the possible confusion the databases get into when moved with permissions etc

  • Multiple user folders, only one user account

    Hello everyone,
    I recently had to reformat my Macbook and reinstall. In the Macintosh HD/users folder are three folders: one with an icon of a little house with my computer's short name, another called Shared and another with my first and last name.
    In System Preferences/Accounts, I only have one user. Whenever I use the finder to drag and drop a file into, say, Movies, it drags it into the second user folder ie. not the one with the little house icon. Consequently, Front Row cannot find my avi's and iTunes cannot find my music.
    While I can (and have) simply transfer all my files from one folder to another, it doesn't explain where this extra user came from and why it seems to have control over the Pictures, Movies and Music folders on the left hand side in Finder while the account that I'm logged in on is somehow secondary.
    I really don't want to have to reformat my machine again. How do I delete this second user safely? Where did it come from?
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks a million
    Dave

    Some ways that you can end up with extra user folders are:
    You migrated data from an older computer using the migration assistant or target disk mode.
    If that is not the case then what has happened is that you done an archive and install not preserving user and network settings but then that folder should be located in a previous system folder.
    The most likely scenario, is however, that you somehow managed to rename your home folder.
    When that happens and you restart your computer the system will look for a folder with your username, that name on your computer, is the name on the folder that has the home icon.
    If a folder with that name is not found a new user folder will be created, it will however, not contain any of your current data files.
    Open the folder which does not have the home icon and check for your user data.
    If it contains your user data you need to rename it back to the name of the home folder with the icon.
    It is not that simple though since you can't have 2 folders with the same name.
    So move the folder with the home icon into shared.
    Now rename the other folder to its proper name.
    Then log out and when you log back in you will be logged into the other user folder with your data.
    If you created any files under the new user folder you can retrieve them from the folder you dragged into Shared and you will note that it no longer has the home icon.

  • User Property Sets / UUP -- not showing up

    Hi. We are having problems getting any portal user property sets to show up in any environment other than our dev boxes. We are running 10.2. Our environment consists of our dev workstations, a dev server in 'development' mode, a stage server in 'production' mode, and a production server in 'production' mode.
    On our development boxes, we see the following property sets from the portal admin:
    Groupspace
    CustomerProperties
    BusinessUserProperties
    BusinessEmployeeProperties
    The latter 2 are our UUP property sets. As I said, these sets appear on our dev boxes, but from what I understand, that is expected because the EAR is exploded when published on a dev box.
    Consultants developed much of this portal application for us, including the uup property sets, and they are backing away and not offering any help in this matter. They simply said to use the propegation tools. I used the propegation tool to merge my dev box inventory and our development server inventory, and the differences did indicate the 4 property sets listed above. I selected to add only those 4 property sets to the dev server, exported the merged inventory, and exported it to our dev server with no errors. However, still no property sets showed up. I then pulled down another inventory from our dev server, and it indicated that it still did not have the property sets. I repeated this cycle once more to no avail.
    Things that are confusing to me are:
    1) The 'Groupspace' and 'CustomerProperties' sets appear to be portal default property sets. Wouldn't they be expected to exist in all environments?
    2) I thought that I read if the server you are deploying the EAR to is in 'development' mode, then the property sets should be moved over when deploying the EAR normally. I may be wrong about this as I am on information overload trying to learn these portal aspects under a time crunch.
    3) Where in the portal database are the propertysets themselved defined? I can see the 'PROPERTY_KEY' and 'PROPERTY_VALUE' tables which handle storing the user properties themselves, but I don't see any tables which would define a property set.
    Thanks in advance for any insights to this issue. It is making my week really tough.

    1st, I recommend posting in the WebLogic Portal forum:
    WebLogic Portal
    2ndly, I recommend opening a support case to get assistance if you are under a time crunch.

  • Sharing user folders between two OSX partitions

    I have two partitions on my drive running OSX, one running 10.9.4 (we'll call this Partition 1), the other running another recent version of OSX that I apparently can't name here because someone out there doesn't know how to read or is being a troll (you know who you are), and keeps getting my thread deleted for no valid reason. We'll call the second partition, you guessed it, Partition 2.
    What I'd like to be able to do is have my computer booted to Partition 2 and access my user folders (movies, photos, etc) that exist on Partition 1, as it's a drag to have to reboot to Partition 1 every time I want to work, watch a movie, listen to music, etc, etc. etc.
    I've had no luck. No matter what I try, when I'm booted to Partition 2 and try to access the user folders in Partition 1, they all have the red circle on the icon, and I get a "you don't have permission..." error when I try to open them.Helpful facts:
    The username is the same for my user account on both Partition 1 and Partition 2.
    I've tried allowing permissions to everyone, and in Get Info I've tried applying the permission settings to enclosed items (the only suggestion I got on the discussion I started about a month ago on this issue.
    No, I don't have the HD space in my MBPr to have a duplication of the entire user account on the other partition, nor would I want to - if something is modified in Partition 1, I want to have fluid access in Partition 2.
    When in Partition 1, I can move files into the public folder for my Partition 2 user (which I've done a couple times when I know in advance that I might want a file to play with in Partition 2 - though this is nowhere near a practical solution to my issue).
    Thanks for any help.

    You have two different account usernames and passwords, so you cannot access the information in a user account unless you are logged into that account. If you want to access data across the partitions, then both user accounts must have the same username and password. You may then access the information directly or using aliases.
    The alternative to this is to use the entire home folder on one partition as the default home folder on the other partition. You can do this using Users & Groups preferences.
    Open Users & Groups preferences. Click on the lock icon and authenticate. CTRL- or RIGHT-click on your user account listing in the sidebar and select Advanced Options from the context menu. You will see a field labeled "Home dir:" At the right end you will see a Change button. Click on it. In the file dialog locate the Home folder now located on the other partition (HDD/Users/account_name/.) Select the folder, click on Open button. Restart the computer as directed.
    When the computer boots up it will now be using the Home folder located on the other partition.
    I am the person who reported your posts because of the discussion related to beta software. Apparently, you did not like what you were told by the moderators and decided to try again. By insisting on not following the forum rules you were the troll, not I. All you had to do was simply refer to two partitions without regard to what operating systems were involved, etc.
    You have an answer to your question despite your rudeness.

  • How to convert internal date to the format of user default setting

    In the BDC program, I need to convert the date, such as the sy-datum 20070427, to the format of user default that is defined in T-code SU01, such as YYYY-MM-DD or YYYY.MM.DD, and so on.
    The user format has 6 six kinds, and it is not good idea to write the code to process. So I look for the functions or CLASS method to process. I can use the function 'ITS_GET_USER_DEFAULTS' to get the user default setting of the Date format and Decimal notation.The problem is that I can not find the function or CLASS method to convert the internal date to user's date format.
    The function: CONVERT_DATE_TO_INTERNAL can not do it.
    The CLASS method: cl_abap_datfm=>conv_date_int_to_ext may be do it. But I do know how exchange the parameters, and fail to make it work finely.
    Is there the functions or CLASS method to process it?
    Thanks a lot!

    Hi John,
    create a veriable :
    data: v_date type char10.
    then after getting the date in YYYYMMDD format, write the following statement.
    WRITE SY-DATUM TO V_DATE.
    this might solve your problem.

    Hemant.
